ALEXANDRIA, La, Nov. ia large meet
ing Of Democrats WAS addressed at the town
hsIl last night by MeEsrH. Wilmington, Watts
and Blackman. The people were very enthu-
siastio and gave close attention to the speak
ers. No bitter craftsmanship was INDUCED IN.
The speech Of OGto ". Watt, his first effort,
was quit0a creditable one, giving promise OF
a brilliant future for this young man.
n. ]. Wilmington reviewed tho political
situation, and asked tho Rnpides Democrats
to stand by whoever is nominated, express
ing a great preference for Coy. MoEuery.
Judge Blaclman said he was not here for
the purpose Of making any personal assault
on the character Of or standing Of Gen.
Nichols. He hOnOred him for the military
and civil services that he had rendered the
State, but there was no reason why the
Democracy Of Louisiana needed general OF
twenty yerrs ago to sRye. II now. We were
not threatened with any dangers or perlls.
No abuses existed in the State that required
q man of military reputation to suppress.
The canvass Of Gen. Nichols was based on
O sentiment with no practical benefits TO re-
suit therUfrum Nichols promises no re-
forms, promised no new measures Tor the
benefit Of the people. McEneFy was live,
energetic, wldeawHke Governor uolhE al ne

selves to the issues Of buried past, but look
